"I Had Some Help" came from a real moment in my military journey. Coming home wasn't easy. The transition, the memories, trying to find your place again. "If you think I made it here alone,You don’t know the hands that built this home."—that's what I felt when I first stepped back on American soil. This song is for every veteran who's made that journey, for every family that waited, for every moment of coming back to the life you left behind.
I've heard from so many veterans and active-duty members who connect with this song. That's what makes it worth it—knowing that our shared experiences, our stories, can bring us together.
We serve with honor, we live with purpose, and we tell our stories so others know they're not alone.
I'm grateful for every moment that led to this song, for every person who's been part of this journey, and for the community of veterans and military families who support each other.
This is more than a song—it's our story. And I'm honored to share it with you.
Coming Home: The Story Behind "I Had Some Help"
Verse 1 They pin these medals on my chest,Shake my hand, say I’m the best.Call me “hero” like I walked alone,Like I fought those nights on my own.But they didn’t see Doc with his bloody hands,Cursing and praying as he made his stand.Didn’t see my squad when I lost my nerve,Dragging me up when I lost my serve. Verse 2 Back home they say I’m strong as steel,But they don’t see the nights I barely deal.My woman sits with me till the panic’s gone,Keeps the lights low, keeps the coffee on.Therapist listens while I ramble and cry,Helps me loosen the knot I tied inside.My kid draws pictures of us holding hands—That crayon faith might be God’s best plan. Pre-Chorus If you think I made it here alone,You don’t know the hands that built this home. Chorus I had some help along the way—From brothers in boots to the ones who stayed.From the bartender pouring without a word,To the preacher praying what my heart never heard.If I’m still breathing, if I’m still sane,It’s ’cause love held on through the worst of the rain.I ain’t a hero, I’m proof that graceLooks like a whole lot of different faces. Bridge So if you see me standing tall—Know it took an army to keep me from the fall. * Instruments: Acoustic, electric, gang vocals on last chorus, toms, organ
